We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.

I’m not trying to be perfect, I’m just trying to be better.

I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class, especially since I rule.

A tranquil mind is the source of health.
